    I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just linkerbaan and his ilk. You don’t deserve to be downvoted. My comment backed you up, but I thought of it more as larger context for modern purposes. 1 or 2 significant challenges 44 years ago, while recent, still shows how unusual it is. We’ve had a decent amount of incumbents since then not be challenged and we had a decent amount before then not really be challenged. It wasn’t a consistent thing, ya know.

      My instance doesn’t let me see who down voted. I used to be on kbin.social and it used to be nice to see both. Knowing a nazi sympathizer is down voting you is a badge of honor… anyways, I appreciate you putting out the data.

        Wait, there’s an instance that can show you who downvotes you? I didn’t know that existed. That’s pretty damn cool.
